Azeez's late run drew a last-man foul from Granada centre-back Jeison Murillo and won a penalty.

Negatives

Azeez needs to be more authoritative in demanding the ball as nine of his teammates averaged more passes than him (25).

While Azeez's defending style is cautious, minimalistic and reactive, like Philipp Lahm when he plays in midfield for Bayern Munich, it would be preferable if Azeez upped his defensive productivity (averaged 1.3 tackles and 1.5 interceptions per game).

The primary problem with Azeez's game is an inability to consistently finish in front of goal.

He had a shot blocked against Valladolid and ignored a wide-open Vidal against Granada only to drag the ball wide.

Azeez scored two goals in La Liga from 31 shots and failed to convert 92.3 percent of his goal-scoring chances, per Squawka.com.

Bottom Line

Arsenal central midfielder Aaron Ramsey's transformation from a scapegoat to arguably the club's most important player reinforces how special Wenger is at developing footballers.

Azeez has superb pedigree, according to FIFA's technical study group:

"Tireless defensive midfielder with good vision and technique, links defence and attack," per FIFA.com; 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
